Mount Dora schools join March of Dimes President's birthday drive
Mount Dora schools are urged to raise funds for the March of Dimes with a $150 local quota. Half funds polio work in the county, half to the national fund. A pledge of $50 by the school could double with student participation. If each pupil gives a dime, substantial aid to children with polio is possible and supports nationwide infantile paralysis efforts.
